Question

The sum of twice a number and a larger number is 145. The difference between the numbers is 55. Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number. Which equations represent the situation? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

C. 2x+y=145 D. y-x=55 E. y=x+55

Explanation:

Have a nice day :)

Answer 2

2x+y=145 and x-y=55.

Explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number and y represent the larger number.

ATQ,

The sum of twice a number and a larger number is 145.

2x+y=145 ...(1)

The difference between the numbers is 55.

x-y=55 ...(2)

Hence, the two equations that represent the situation are 2x+y=145 and x-y=55.
